Some papers blame the President for
not signing the River and Harbor bill.
The president had no objection to the
bill in itself; but it seems to have be-
come custom in legislatures, both State
and National, to load down what are
considered necessary bills, like this one,
the Revenue bills, ETC., with jobs, and
hold them back to the last moment, in
order to force signature and prevent q
veto. The country ought to congratu-
late itself on having president who has
the moral courage to veto good bill
disigured with obnoxious Jobs" Sc
we're diseases require severe remedies.
Next time Congress will know better
than to try to impose on the President
who is not fishing for second term by
the methods usually resOrted to by po-
liticians but who is trying to do his duty
in the light that he sees it. A man who
Is intent on doing right is always better
than the one who is trying to please every
body.-St. Landry Democrat.

in the boom is becoming so great that

began to stiffen. Two real estate offices
have sprung into existence in the town

The pecuniary value Of "a good time"
would seem to be as difficult of estima-
tion as the weight Of an oder or the
breadth Of smile. Yet a New York ju-
ry will be called on to perform the deli
cate task. The City Surveyor of Roches-
ter was invited to be present at the un-
yelling of the Statue Of Liberty in New
York Harbor and laid himself out for q
good time. The train which he took
should have brought him to New York
in ample time, but for some reason it
arrived six hours late and the good time
was irretrievably spoiled. The Surveyor
has sued the railroad company and laid
his damages at $1,000 which is his esti-
mate of what good time would have
been worth to him in the elevation Of
his system, the expansion of his ideas
and, incidentally perhaps, Of his head as
well. Whether jury will put it as
high as that is still prOblematic.-Na-
tiOnal Past Echo.

I'M HIGH DUDaEoN.
The Wool Growers Growing At inc
Grasping Manufacturers.

Grasp1ng ManuIhcIurors'
wAsuINoToN. d. c., Dec. 9.-The old
nuarrel between the wool growers ano
wool manufacturers has broken oul
again and nothing will be more bench
cal in exhibiting to the country some
of the frozen facts relative to the duties
on wool. After preparing their VICIOUS
and in some particulars untrue proB1n,
ciamento the wool growers ADJOURNED
in high dudgeon because the promised
committee from the wool manufacture
ers did not appear. Senator Chase, OF
Rhode Island, who chiefly represents
The wooden interests, is much exercised
over the ignoring of the growers.
Nessrs Harpster, Cowden and Delano,
ali of Ohio. with Mr.. George Converse,
who wrote the address, were chief
hnglemen and were much disturbed
over the prevalent feeling that the wool
growers are having their cause injured
By making it strictly a Republican
Attachment. COwden is a Democrat
and WAS the cause of keeping the au-
dress from being PERSONAL aIIach OH
Cleveland. L..
The way in which wool tariff discus
sions are running is shown Oy a re-.
mark of Senator Coke, whose state or
Texas is greatest among sheep raising
localities. He applauded the Presl-
dents message, even to the free WOOL
but with the provlso that Woolens
should also be free.
The Ohio wool men called on Senator
Payne today, and afterwards upon MI.
Foran. Mr.. Harpster argued to the lat
ter that the whisky tax should be re-
moved. Mr.. Foran, while opposing
free wool, also refused to believe
that the country was prepared
for free whisky. This episode
shows that Harpster would advocate
ANYTHING that the tax on clothing, blank
cts, etc, could be made higher. These
are disconnected facts exhibiting the
status of the wool question. Another
valuable point is, that the bill that will
come from the ways and means com
mittee will not contain free wool, but
remove duty on the three cOarsest
grades. 1t is thought that Ohio Dem
Ocrats would vote for that generally.
The wool growers and dealers today
adopted a series of resolutions, declar-
ing unjust the present classification OF
wool by the railroads of the country,
and directing that they be urgently re-
quested to place wool in their new clas--
sifcation on basis that would at least
be equal to the present classitica,,
tions, as if classified as follows: Wool
in sacks, in quantities less than 10000
pounds in car loads, second class; in
quantities greater than 10000 pounds
in carloads, third class; wool compress
ed in bales, in quantities less than 20
900 pounds, in carloads, third class; in
quantities greater than 10000 pounds,
ence also passed resolution declaring
that recent events have demonstrated
the necessity for a central organization
at Washington or elsewhere ard with
that purpose in view request all wool
growing associations in the United
States to Immediately send their ad-
dresses to Albert Chapman at Middle
bury, Vt.

THE PRECARIoUs POTATO.

There seems to be no doubt that the
potato is precarious. The past few
years, it is claimed, the potato crop has
been steadily diminishing-in 1883 aver
aging ninety-one bushels to the acre:
in 1884 eighty-fve bushels; in 1886
seventy-three and in 1887 fifty-tl rec
bushels.
J.R. Dodge, of the National Agricul-
tural Bureau, having been called out
on the subject, wrote:
lido not say that "change in variety of
potatoes" will prevent potatoes run
ming out" 1t is understood by cultiva-
tors that any variety, productive and
popular, in course of time becomes
unproductive and unpopular. Vide
the famous NeshamrOck, Chenango,
and scores of later sorts. Even the
Early Rose is giving out, and at many
points being superseded. That is what
| intended to be understood as saying.
The Maine Burbank, of great popular
ity, is succumbing to new varieties
deemed better. ..
AS to fertilizers, good potatoes can
not be grown with heavy application
of coarse fertilizers. The largest pro-
ducts and the best quality are grown
upon old pastures or meadows, after
breaking and rotting the sod.
Whatever tendencies may exist to
declining yield and quality is due to
their ground instead of new sod land.
AS the country gets older this will
increase, unless care is taken to give
them sod land or new forest clearlngs,
which have abundance of potash.
Application of potash in suitable guam
titles where needed will be profitable,
but general fertilizers indiscriminat-
ingly, never.

The Verdict Unanimous.

w. d. Suit. druggist, Bippus, Indiana,
testifies: Il can recommend Electric
Bitters as the very best remedy. Every
bottle sold has given relief in every case.
One man took six bottles, and was cur
ed of rheumatism of six years stand
ing" Abraham Hare, Bellevue, Ohio,
says: "The best selling medicine ever
handled in my 30 years experience, is
Electric Bitters." Thousands of others
testimony have been added, so that the
verdict is unanimous that Electric Bit
ters cures all diseased of the liver,
kidneys or blood. Only half a dollar a
bottle, at Durbin, Wright q Cos drug
store.
